TI - 20190719 - SG110CX - Short-Circuit Current - V10 - EN

The document describes the short-circuit current characteristics of the SG110CX inverter. It provides definitions for the peak short-circuit current (Ip), initial symmetrical short-circuit current (Ik''), and steady-state short-circuit current (Ik). Testing showed the SG110CX can provide a peak current of 300A for less than 40us, an initial symmetrical current of 175A for under 30ms, and a steady-state current of 158.8A during voltage drops to support the grid.

SG110CX Short-Circuit Current

1. Introduction

This document describes the short-circuit current of SG110CX inverter.

This technical information is intended to provide characteristic values of the short-circuit currents
of SG110CX resulting from testing activities in accordance with IEC 60909.

This document is intended to be used by the specific addressees. No part of this document may
be reproduced or distributed in any form or by any means without the prior written permission of

2. Overview

The grid faults requires the support from PV inverters by staying connected to the grid and
generating reactive currents to support the grid voltage in VDE-AR-N 4110 grid code. These currents
are related to the correct dimensions of the wiring and protection devices at the PV plant and grid
levels. Therefore, maximum values of short-circuit currents or characteristic values (as for example Ik''
and Ip) and currents at defined times during voltage drop need to be confirmed.

These characteristic values were defined according to IEC 60909 standard.

Ip Peak short -circuit current: Maximum possible instantaneous value of the prospective
short-circuit current.

Ik'' Initial symmetrical short-circuit current: RMS value of the AC symmetrical component (dynamic
duration) of a prospective short-circuit current applicable at the instant of short circuit if the impedance
remains at zero-time value.

Ik Steady-state short-circuit current: RMS value of the short-circuit current (static duration) which
remains after the decay of the transient phenomena.

Note that Ip is given as an amplitude, whereas the values for Ik'' and Ik are RMS.

3. SG110CX Short Circuit Current

SG110CX will stay connected from the grid in the event of voltage drop and support the grid
voltage by feeding a reactive current into the grid according to a certain characteristic. These apply to
all types of short circuits (i.e. to single-phase, two-phase and three-phase short circuits).

The voltage drop causes an immediate reaction of the PV inverter with the peak short-circuit
current Ip which is just a peak of max. 40μs with no significant area under the current characteristic
curve; afterwards, the inverter limits the current immediately to prevent the inverter from thermal
overload, with the initial symmetrical short-circuit current Ik'' which will not last longer than 30ms.

The value for the steady-state short-circuit current Ik will be reached after 30ms and will be
maintained during the entire duration of the voltage drop. Furthermore, the value of feed-in reactive
current are related to the remaining voltage and the k-factor (default k-factor = 2).

The response of voltage drop contains one static and two dynamic parts, as shown in the
following figure. This approach is similar to the process of model validation by the VDE-AR-N 4110
certification.

The instantaneous values of AC currents and voltages are recorded synchronously with 50kHz
(20μs). Positive sequence component are based on measurement of instantaneous voltages and
currents are calculated according to IEC 61400-21 (2008). The following table shows the test results
for SG110CX.
